Chapter two hundred and sixty quiet street

From Yu Dagu's view, even if the reward army was first established, he would not recommend discussing flying cannons. Since Wang Tongneng had a deep conversation with this veteran, he has found that the veteran is quite disgusted with the firearms.

He believed that the quality of this firearm was not up to standard and could easily hurt soldiers when used. Moreover, after the troops had firearms, they lost their courage. They just thought about casting firearms from afar, and they would release them randomly before they could reach the range. When the enemy rushed to the front, they had already been fired, and they did not dare to fight with each other. At this time, the team was in chaos and the entire army was disintegrated.

If there is no firearm, at least the soldiers will not fight hand in hand. Even archers must take action at the range. This concept is the gap between the times.

Wang Tong would not foolishly explain the concept of the new era for a famous general who is nearly 80 years old. After all, the Huwei Army is in charge of it himself, and for this era, Yu Dayu said it extremely accurately.

However, famous generals are named generals, and the old man is also an old man. Yu Dayu probably tried it with a young man and tried it. If he fails, he has the opportunity to come back. Since Wang Tong spoke, he agreed to talk.

The city was almost calm and it was a little late. Wang Tong simply stayed in the camp at night and waited to return to the city the next day. In the evening, Wang Tong got up and walked up to the viewing building on the south side of the camp.

Standing high and looking far away, you can clearly see the Haihe River at this location. Late at night, the lights on both sides of the canal gradually fade, and the lights on the stars flickered, but it looked even darker. The lights on the Haihe River were still brightly lit, and I don’t know how many people were busy loading and unloading there.

There was nothing to say all night. In the morning of the next morning, Wang Tong was going back to the city. Li Hutou was now following him. Some of the people in the Tan family had to practice in the recruit camp, and some had to stare in the city.

He had just transferred troops into the city yesterday, and everything was not stable yet, so he was left with General Tan, a mature guard. He only brought Tan Bing and three Tan family members who did not often protect him. After looking at the people who were still in the camp, he was about to return to the city.

While sorting out the horses, he saw Ma Sanbiao coming and holding the mount. Wang Tong frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Sanbiao, you have errands here. What are you going out to do!"

Before Ma Sanbiao replied, Tan Bing smiled and explained in a low voice:

"Master, let Sanbiao follow us to the city gate, and he will come back by himself. There must be a few good-looking followers around him."

Ma Sanbiao also scratched his head and explained:

"Master Tan said that if he didn't follow him, the place outside the city asked me to follow the adults. If there was something, I could still help."

Although the Tan family is trained by the elites in Wang Tong's martial arts and bow and horses, Li Hutou and Ma Sanbiao are not inferior to them. Li Hutou is talented, diligent and studious, and has made great progress. Now he suffers a loss in terms of strength. Ma Sanbiao is tall and strong, and has a foundation in riding skills. Over the past year, he has grown very well. Tan told Wang Tong privately that among the seventeen people in the Tan family, Ma Sanbiao can defeat at least ten of them on one side.

Wang Tong nodded in agreement, but he felt uncomfortable, and Tan would be his own housekeeper. It is natural for him to make such an arrangement. However, the uncomfortable part is not here, but the arrangement itself shows that he is in danger.

Although the things done inside and outside the city were like Mount Tai, they were pressed over and over again, and the interests of too many people were cut off step by step. There was no resistance in the open, and I don’t know whether they would do anything secretly.

It is always not very good to be stared at by someone secretly. Wang Tong rarely realized that now he is clearly in front of him and feels uncomfortable.

The saddle and bridle harnesses were tried with hands and confirmed that they had been tied up. Wang Tongwang was about to turn over the horse, but he remembered something and said, "He said, "

"Get a round shield!"

The new recruits were fully equipped with weapons in the training camp. Someone immediately took a round shield for Wang Tong. The diameter of the round shield was slightly shorter than the arm and was made of a wooden board with iron leaves. After Wang Tong took it, he hung it on the edge of the saddle.

He looked at the other people, but found that everyone was already fully armed, and there was no difference between them when fighting. Wang Tong shook his head and turned his horse on his back.

The recruits camp is about 500 steps away from the shops, warehouses and warehouses, and there is no building on the ground between these 500 steps.

Before the new recruits were set up here, they were all potholes and lush, rocks and weeds, but now they were much more neat. The laborers in the new recruits were to clean up the surroundings and build roads.

However, even if it is neat and clean, no businessmen want to build a house here or something. It’s not that the power of the Jinyiwei is scaring. But it’s that this is too far from the wharf, and the merchants next to this open space are not very prosperous. The two goods are just for maintenance. The two restaurants are inferior shops that can be filled with just two cents, but there are few people on the wharf. However, the business has been good recently because they need their help in the food of the recruits.

The rest are cargo yards and warehouses, and heavy goods that cannot be sold. Anyway, they are owed much money to the place where the river is so dirty.

The camp gate behind him had just closed, and he saw a few people walking by the road in front of the camp gate. Wang Tong had been to the camp and rarely saw any pedestrians. It was very deserted. If it was to be placed in the past, Wang Tong would not pay attention to anything, but the things before leaving the camp just now had already made him wary of it.

Before the horse moved, Wang Tong had already stopped him and asked in a low voice:

"It's very deserted here on weekdays, why are there people now?"

Tan Bing looked over there and said with a smile:

"The two restaurants now have to make meals in our camp. They are about to be rich, so they hired a lot of people. These days they have been abiding by the rules. A few days ago, some people often come over to watch. Seeing the soldiers trained, they were all whipped back, so they became much more honest."

Ma Sanbiao came up from behind and said rudely:

Xiao Fang's restaurant has a bowl of yellow rice porridge in the morning and the pickled vegetables rolls in the big cakes. They are delicious and they are not full in the camp this morning. I will go and get some food on the way later. Do you want it, sir?"

It may not be true that Ma Sanbiao is straight-hearted. He knows the rules and advances and retreats on weekdays, but he said this just to ease the atmosphere.

When everyone heard his words, they burst into laughter. Wang Tong also said with a smile:

"You are a big-bellied man. I will give me a portion of Tan Bing later. The food of these recruits and laborers should not be deducted at least. At least you have to eat enough. Even the official eats breakfast, you feel that the soup is weak. You can imagine what you can eat from below. The money from the capital is not to save us. You have to spend it, and spend it to the place where it should be."

After saying that, he shook his reins and mounts forward. The Ming Dynasty's deductions from soldiers seemed to have become a habit. Even if the military generals below were not greedy, they were also used to saving Wang Tong. Cai Nan always asked if he had to sort out accounts, he was always accustomed to asking if he really wanted to pay enough money.

These habits and problems made Wang Tong tirelessly recruit soldiers to the army just to make people fight for you and not give enough money to give you enough money. Who will fight for you at that time?

After riding for a few steps, Wang Tong immediately said:

"Tan Bing, the next time the military camp pays will come here."

The hundreds of steps were completed quickly. I walked into the store and warehouse area, walked through a cargo yard and turned right to see the two restaurants, which happened to be on the way back.

There were a lot of mashi stones piled up on the cargo yard. It is said that five years ago, the construction of river dam locks in the Huaihe River area required a large amount of stones. The canal ships went north to transport grain and cargo, and loaded mashi stones on the return journey. The unloading in the Huaihe River area was about five times the profit, but the project was completed the year before, so it was no longer necessary.

In this era, it took a long time to convey information from the north and south. Many meadows were transported to Tianjin but no one cares about it. The return shipping was too costly and there were not so many projects to sell on site. So I just kept it locally and sold it slowly.

These meadows are placed in piles of open air. No one is taking care of them. They are things that no one steals. They are stacked up layer by layer, and the terrain is more than one person high, and the terrain is not too flat. Walking in the cargo yard, it is like walking in hills and gullies. The vision is so blocked.

Wang Tong subconsciously became nervous. This place was a good terrain for ambushing, and everyone was so timid that they all placed their weapons in front of the saddle, and were fully alert.

However, I was so nervous that I was in vain. Until I left the cargo yard and turned to the street, there was nothing wrong. Looking at the deserted street, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Essence and trees are all soldiers." Wang Tong thought of this word. If he always had such nervous words, he would be too sensitive. Ma Sanbiao behind him smiled and said, "The restaurant is there, I'll go over and let them cook first!!"

Ma Sanbiao just ran out from behind, but Wang Tong stopped shouting, looked at the streets and asked in a deep voice:

"Those two restaurants have to cook so many people, so they must have hired a lot of helpers. They should be busy with lunch now. Why is it still so quiet here? There is not even a smoke from cooking."

When Ma Sanbiao asked, he stopped Ma. Wang Tong said:

"Anyway, you're not far away, you can hear it when you shout here."

"You little Fang, you are a damn master. Come out and kowtow to serve you."

Ma Sanbiao's voice was very loud. After this shout, I'm afraid the whole street could be heard, but the street was still silent. He shouted with names like this. Even if the person called was not moved, the people on the street would come out to see the fun. Not to mention that when the camp was revealed, he saw someone.

move.

The weather was a little hot, but the quietness on the street made Wang Tong suddenly feel cold all over.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound in several places on the street

The bowstring sounds! The roars through the air!
